Depending on how you install the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31302 will determine if you need to trim the front fascia.

This front mount hitch is a high/low hitch that can be installed with the hitch opening on the top of the cross member or below it.

If you choose to install the cross member with the hitch opening below the cross member you will not need to trim anything. If you want the additional ground clearance of having opening above the cross member then you will need to cut a 3 inch by 3 inch hole in the front fascia.

I attached installation instructions for this hitch also.
